Icelandic viking folk metallers Skálmöld, together with their record label Napalm Records, have released a preview of Börn Loka (Loki's Children), the band's new upcoming second effort that will hit stores on October 26th. Check it out below to get a taste of what to expect.

Börn Loka "is a concept album that focuses on the story of the siblings Hilmar and Brynhildur. In order to achieve honor as a Viking warrior, Hilmar has to embark on a perilous journey, fight terrifying beasts and possibly make the biggest sacrifice imaginable. Skálmöld's characteristic viking metal serves as the soundtrack for this journey. The band has this time added a classical choir and the unique voice of Edda Tegeder (Angist) to their rich soundscapes."
